Talk about points!

[c303a]

Started Primegrid last week with 3 gpus running part time with Folding at Home. Decided to just turn them onto Primegrid when I saw the points. Over 2,250,000 points in less then a week. Thanks Dr. Pop for recommending the program. Running a GTX 460 oc, Gtx 260 oc and a GTS 9800 also an oc model.
Now all I have to do is figure out how to get a 9600GSO running alongside my GTX 260. I have a slot open so it will go in just have to figure out the set up so Prime will run on both cards. Look out here I come!:D:D:D

Now there's some production!

I just started running an overclocked GTX 580. It does a packet in 8.5 minutes. I theory that should net me 750,000 a day. Does anyone know how good the points in Prime Grid are for an ATI card? I'm currently running DNET with my 5870 and getting around 300,000 a day.

PG credits are terrible with ATI - the app was written in OpenCL which runs terribly inefficiently on the ATI platform. I'd ballpark ~100k/day on PG with a 5870...

Keep your ATI cards on DNETC, MW, collatz, PG...in that order.

Ok all you techies out there. How do I get the GSO 9600 working on Primegrid. I installed it in slot 01 with the GTX 460 on slot 0. Boinc is not crunching on the 9600 but EVGA Precision says that the card is there. Is there a command line or do I have to install another instance of Boinc?

Nice work, you will smoke me in no time. :)

You can try this in your cc_config.xml:


<use_all_gpus>0|1</use_all_gpus>
If 1, use all GPUs (otherwise only the most capable ones are used). New in 6.6.25

Yes. Do that. It should fix it...

Had to make a cc_config file in the hidden data folder but got it set up and put the script in as shown and no luck. Evga precision still shows only 1 gpu being used. Did read config and shut Boinc down and restarted. Only 1 Primegrid running.

Did BOINC read the cc_config file? You should see this message on roughly the second line of your Messages tab in BOINC:

3/22/2011 9:46:12 AM Config: use all coprocessors

If you are not seeing that, then the cc_config.xml file was not set up correctly...

[c303a]

Says "missing start tag in cc_config.xml"

Says "missing start tag in cc_config.xml"
Copy this into the file and save it as "cc_config.xml" (if you don't want your results to immediately report, remove that line). I'm using this in multiple machines now.


<cc_config>
<options>
<report_results_immediately>1</report_results_immediately>
<use_all_gpus>1</use_all_gpus>
</options>
</cc_config>

There we go!!!! Tried read config but had to shut down to get it to work. 99% on both gpus. Thanks. Now let's kick some a$$!!!! This is great...4 wus of Docking, 2 of Primegrid and of course 1 of WUProp.

Awesome! Glad you got it going...

Did you put more than just that single line in the file? It needs some other stuff too. Something like this:


<cc_config>
<options>
<use_all_gpus>1</use_all_gpus>
</options>
</cc_config>

Edit: D'oh! Didn't realize there was a second page of responses. Looks like you already got it.

Thanks. Got it. I didn't know that I had to put other thing in there. I build them not program. It is up and crankin. Almost 3,000,000 on day 6 and that was with just the 460.

C303a,
Yeah Baby! You're going to shoot up the stats charts like a rocket man. :D. Can't wait to see how all this is going to help our RAC. Literally amazing the points you can throw down with those cards on PG!

[c303a]

Will cover 4,000.000 points today after just 9 days and some of the time I was only running 1, 2, 0r 3 cards. Now I am running all 4.
